We get a lot of questions about the different roles of a venue coordinator, a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner, which is understandable because the titles are quite similar and some of our roles do overlap.
One of the first questions couples ask when they get engaged is “how much is a wedding going to cost?” They will likely turn to the internet for answers. Unfortunately, in our opinion, many well-known wedding publications are giving inaccurate information when it comes to wedding budgets.
TikTok has been showing a lot of couples DIYing their wedding flowers and making it look really easy, but there are many logistics that couples may not be thinking about. As experienced pros, we want to share why DIY wedding flowers aren’t worth it.

Bridget and Keith were married at Gesu church and held their reception at The Pfister Hotel. They met while both attending school at Marquette University, so they made sure to get some photos on campus. Their wedding was quite elegant and incorporated touches of burgundy and navy with gold accents and lots of candlelight, which fit perfectly with the aesthetics of the Imperial Ballroom. The light-up dance floor they rented really jumpstarted the party and the dance floor was packed all night.
Maddie and Ryan had quite the journey of long-distance dating that finally brought them to their wedding day at Mulberry Lane Farm. Upon arrival, guests boarded a hayride, which took them to the ceremony and Maddie and her dad made their grand entrance via horse and buggy. During cocktail hour guests could walk around the farm and enjoy the many animals onsite - cows, pigs, ponies, chickens, sheep, and goats. I think the biggest hit was their milk and cookie bar after dinner. Family members made four different types of cookies and they sure didn’t last long!
Leah and L.J.’s wedding was held at one of the most unique venues I have ever seen - their CrossFit gym! I love that they chose a location that was such a big part of their relationship. They spent a lot of thought and time transforming the gym into a beautiful reception venue complete with string lights hanging over the dance floor. For dinner guests could choose between two food trucks - Truck Meister and Hard Wood Cafe. They served an assortment of desserts including Nothing Bundt Cakes. It was a beautiful day and guests were able to easily move between inside and outside with the open garage door. I think it’s safe to say everyone was thoroughly impressed at what these two managed to do to the gym!
I’ve known Melissa for years, so I was incredibly honored when she asked me to be a part of her wedding day. She has always had a great eye for fashion and style and you can clearly see she had an incredible vision for her wedding day. I loved that Melissa and Jake had a very intimate wedding with just their families, because family is so important to both of them. An extra special detail was that they asked Melissa’s grandparents to sign their marriage license!
Our 2019 wedding season was incredible! We got to work with some really amazing couples, experience some venues for the first time, and travel out of state for two destination weddings. We enjoyed working alongside of many creative vendors to produce some breathtaking weddings. Each year seems to just fly by and I really enjoyed looking back over all of our weddings as I put this recap together. Enjoy!
Some of you may be wondering ‘what exactly is the point of a wedding registry and do I really need one?’ I know many modern couples feel they already have everything they need for their home, especially if they have already been living together for years. And let’s face it, most people are hoping for CASH! But keep in mind, you will want to register for at least some items for your bridal shower at the very least. And while at most weddings these days we see very few actual gifts, some of your guests would really enjoy and prefer to buy you a gift rather than gift you money.
Who doesn’t love food trucks? They are so much fun, especially at a wedding! They are extremely versatile, can arrive in many shapes and sizes and can serve all types of cuisines. Today I’m going to share a few different ways to incorporate a food truck (or two) into your wedding plans as well as tell you about some of the unique options Milwaukee has to offer.
